My grades were going down and making me go crazy. My dad was going to kill me and eat me for dinner. Damian was gone so it was a relief to me. Though I find myself looking for him which annoyed me afterwards. Everybody had known about Damian going to England for a match. So gym classes were free now. I was bored since nothing was new and Jenna got mild fever  and skipped today’s class. So I decided to meet her after school.

The theme for the prom was decided and it was Romeo and Juliet. Typical. Everybody was excited and asking their crushes for the prom. I probably will stay at home and eat deep fried chicken, maybe invite Jenna too.

“ Hey faggot.” Called the high and mighty, Matthew Sanders. I mentally rolled my eyes. I tried too walk away but he caught my shoulder and slammed me against the wall.

“ What the fuck?” I shouted. He pointed at his head. “ See this!” he said. There were stitches like 4 to 5. I gulped.

“ Stitches, fucking 6 stitches, you motherfucker. I am gonna beat you to a pulp for this, you know.” He snarled.

“ Like you did last time.” I sneered at him. He caught my collar and brought my face near to his.

“ You are gonna regret you were ever born.” He growled as he curled his fist to throw a punch at me.

“ Not gonna happen today buddy.” I said as I dodged his punch by ducking down. He had left my collar so I was free to move. I kicked at his knee swiftly which made him fall down on the ground. I jumped on him and punched his sorry-ass face as much as i could. Before I knew, he had thrown me to the ground. My back hurt. He got up huffing and pulled my leg and slammed it on the locker. I won’t lie, it felt like shit.

“ Damn you.” I muttered as I kicked him in the gut with my free leg. He was dashed on the wall. Before he could regain his strength to get up. I slammed myself on him, making both of us hurl through the huge glass window and down on the dry lawn. I groaned in pain so was Mathew Sanders.

“Mr. Sanders, Mr. Salt. I want you two in my office right now.” Said Ms. Knight, principal of our school who happens to be reading a book on the nearby bench, fuming like an erupting volcano.

                                                 *********************************

“ You are seniors, how could you behave like that?” Ms. Knight scolded the two badly bruised boys sitting (very far from each other) on the opposite seat.  We both were glaring on the floor holding a cloth to stop the bleeding. She sighed as she wrote something on the paper.

“ You two have to pay heavily for the window, you do know that right?” she said glaring at us.

“ He was the one!!! Not me. I was thrown down okay and my back hurts like hell because of this little runt.” Matthew shouted. She looked at me as if waiting for a next accusation. I stared at her in a terribly long silence. I shrugged and said, “ It wasn’t my intention.”

“ Mr. Salt and Mr. Sanders! You have to stop behaving like kindergarten kids.” She said firmly.

“ Well sorry to interrupt Ms. Knight. But kindergarten kids don’t hurl themselves down the window from a three stored building.” I said with a smile. Matthew snickered silently.

“ ENOUGH!” Ms. Knight roared and got up. Uh-oh!

“ You two are getting suspended for one week and also paying the school authorities for the damage you have done.”  She said as we groaned with frustration.

“ You may leave now.” She said placing herself back in the seat.

Outside the office we stood with slips in our hands. “ Nice work, asshole.” He muttered.

“ Thanks.” I mumbled and went towards my next class. I felt my phone vibrating and picked it up to find it was Damian. I rolled my eyes.

“ What? I was having my class.” I muttered. He sighed.

“ You should be happy you know that I am calling you.” He said.

“ First of all there is no reason for me to be happy, second you are idiot, third you are idiot. Did I mention idiot??” I snapped. I could hear him chuckle. “ Maybe I am.”

“ You don’t have work to do there?” I asked.

“ Except for shivering in cold, no. Seriously its like I am in Mount Everest.” He complained.

“ You shouldn’t call me.” I said.  There was a long pause and he said, “ How is school? Feeling lonely without me?”  I knew it. He’s avoiding the reality.

“ I got into a fight with Matthew and basically threw myself with him tagging along down the building through the window.”  I said with a shrug. “ And yeah I am suspended for One week. My dad is going to kill me.”

After a pause, I heard him laughing like really loud. I heard a thump and a groan. I rolled my eyes.

“ Sorry, sorry. I fell down, I fell down from the bed I am sorry.” He said between the laugh.

“ It’s not funny. At all.” I snapped.

“ I am feeling sorry for the Matthew guy. Damn you can throw a punch.” He said. I sighed.

“ Delete my number right now.” I disconnected the call cutting off his ‘ Give me goodbye kiss. This guy knew how to push all my buttons

After school, I went straight at Jenna’s house. She had given me her address and it wasn’t hard to find. I stood up at her front door and rang the bell.  After some minutes the door opened and a man almost naked stood in front of me. I gaped at him in surprise. He smirked and raised one eyebrow.

“ Yes?” he said.

“ I-I-I am here to see Jenna. Umm this is her house right?” I asked fumbling with my hand. Man! Talk about awkward!

“ Yes, you are?” he asked not moving an inch.

“ Ethan, Jenna’s friend from school.”  I said.

“ She never told me she had cute friend.” He said with a chuckle.

I am not cute!!

“ Ooh and untamed too.” He said as he noticed my frown.

“ I am here to see Jenna. If she’s not here tell her I came to meet.” I snapped and was about to walk when I heard Jenna’s voice.

“ Ethan?”

I looked back and saw a very pale girl in pajamas that did not resemble Jenna in any angle standing behind the man.

“ Go to Hell, Justin. Leave my friend alone.” She muttered. He sighed.

“ That’s what the people say right, all gays go to hell.” He said with puppy eyes.

“ You know I don’t mean that. So stop overreacting and go be a rapist at some other alley.” She muttered again with a sneeze. She looked at me and said, “ Come in, Ethan. Sorry! My bro can be hyper sometimes.”

“ He’s gay!!!” I exclaimed.

“ Yup. Loud and Proud.” She said casually as she went upstairs leading me.

She opened her room and it was all...... normal. Phew!! And I expected..... a devil’s head hanging on the door.

We talked for a while and she had a laugh when I told her about the fight. It isn’t funny. What the hell is wrong with the people?? We had some snacks and more talk. I told her about the homework  which she was hoping to see as there were no work for her. It was night and time to go home.

As I went downstairs, I saw Justin playing a tune in his guitar. He smiled when he saw me. “ Hey sorry about before.”

“ Its okay.”  I said and we shook hands.

“ You see, I have a tendency to flirt with cute people.” He said and winked at me.

“ Whatever, goodnight, Justin.” I said and went towards my home.

“ Dream about me!!” I could hear him shouting.

My phone rang and I knew who it was.

“ Didn’t I tell you to delete my number?” I snapped. He chuckled. I could not help but smile.

“ I can’t do that. Its the only thing that keeping me alive.” He said.

“Dramatic bastard, go to sleep.” I muttered.

“ Nah, its going to be morning so  its okay.” He said with a yawn.

“ I can see that.” I muttered as i walked along the path.

“ Does it hurt?” he asked. “ Hmmm?” I answered.

“ The bruises! Does it hurt?” he asked. I stopped walking.

“ I am fine, dumbass.” I grumbled. He took a deep breath.

“ You better be. If there is even a slightest bruise, I am going to kill that punk.” He said in a husky voice.

“ Calm down, Rambo! Don’t get your panties in a bunch. I am okay and besides it was me who launched himself down the building.” I mumbled. He laughed.

And it was a thing to wonder . in such a short time he was so close to me. Like we had known each other forever. Like talking like this was normal.....

“ You know right you’re bigger, older than me. And to top it you are a teacher and a GUY!!” I muttered angrily.

“ I am just 20,Ethan.” He replied, “ And as I said the day before, you are Mine to keep Ethan. And this is not a joke at all.”

That scared me. A lot.

This guy was showing so much of passion that now I was feeling scared.

“ You are mad.” I could say.

“ Well, I am hell lot than that, Ethan. I Can’t wait to see you. Wait for me okay?”

“ Whatever, Dumbass. Now go to sleep or whatever.” I muttered.

“ Miss you,love.” He said and there goes the thumping of the heart.

“ Yeah...” I said and disconnected the call. This guy......

This guy was making me feel what I did not wanted to feel. I never had felt. Was I attracted towards him??? My Ass!! I wasn’t.... and I will not.

I reached my home and opened the door to find dad sitting on the chair full awake glaring at me.

“ Dad- “

“ Grounded.” He said.

“ What?” I exclaimed.

“ You are Grounded. The whole week. “ he said pointing at me. “ Starting now.”

I sighed with frustration and went to my room. I slammed the door and sat on my bed. Looking at the glow-in-the-dark stars on the wall.

Thanks Ms. Knight!! Thanks a lot.

What a best way to end a frustrating day!!!

NOTE the sarcasm in my voice people!!!!
